LIVE! 49ers Fans Weekly: OTAs Possible Cuts, Shanahan Coach Of The Year Candidate?


A picture in Camp is starting to form. We know that Carlos Hyde will battle with Joe Williams, Matt Brieda, Tim Hightower, Kapri Bibbs and the seldom mentioned Raheem Mostert. That group has to be reduced to a maximum of 4 and minimum of 3 If Kyle Juszczyk is not categorized as an “OW” he will be included in that group. There will be some really talented running backs leaving the 49ers.

Vance McDonald has been the whipping boy of 49ers fans for years! He has improved in his last 2 season but some believe he has been overpaid. Could he prove he is worth his current salary in the days ahead, and stave off elimination from the 49ers 2017 roster? Big Vance falls in line with Garrett Celek, and Blake Bell of whom will also compete with the new additions of 2017 draft pick George Kittle, free agent Logan Paulsen, and Undrafted free agent Cole Hikutini.

Also where does Ray Ray Armstrong fit in with this camp? That linebacking crew is also stacked. All pro Navarro Bowman, 1st round draft pick Reuben Foster, and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith. Can Ray Ray crack this group? You name any positional group in the 49ers camp this year, and they are all stacked with talent.

Kyle Shanahan was observed this week by media beat writer Grant Cohn of the Press Democrat. In his report he witnessed the best coaching of the 49ers he had experience in years! Could the brilliance of first year head coach Kyle Shanahan push the 49ers to a record impressive enough to get the nod as coach of the year? It wouldn’t be surprising. We are talking about one of the most intense team leaders in the NFL. It’s Sunday fam, lets talk some 49ers football!
